Weine nur nicht
 (Sung text for setting by T. Streicher)
 Matches base text
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  CAT DUT ENG FRE
Weine, weine, weine nur nicht,
ich will dich lieben, doch heute nicht,
ich will dich ehren, soviel ich kann,
aber 's Nehmen,
aber 's Nehmen steht mir nicht an.

Glaube, glaube, glaube nur fest,
daß dich mein' Treu' niemals verläßt,
allzeit beständig, niemals abwendig
will ich treu sein.
aber gebunden, das geh' ich nicht ein.

Hoffe, hoffe, hoffe, mein Kind,
daß meine Worte aufrichtig sind,
ich tu' dir schwören bei meiner Ehren,
daß ich treu bin:
aber 's Heiraten ist nie mein Sinn.
